* Under the hood (bonnet): This is the most common location, similar to most cars. However, it might be tucked away and less easily accessible than in some other vehicles.
* In the engine bay: While technically under the hood, this could mean it's positioned further back or more recessed within the engine bay itself.
* Underneath the vehicle: Less common, but some models may have the battery located under the van, often requiring you to access it from below. This usually necessitates lifting the van and using a jack and jack stands.
To find the battery's exact location on *your* Ford Transit, it's best to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the definitive source for your specific vehicle.
2. Look under the hood first: This is the most likely place.
3. Check near the front of the vehicle: The battery needs to be somewhat close to the engine for power.
4. If unsure, search online: Use a search engine like Google with the specific year, make, and model of your Ford Transit. Many forums and websites have pictures of the battery location.
Safety Note: Always disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the battery first before performing any work near it to avoid short circuits.
